Specs

Terrain:Powder

Powder

These skis are for the deep days. If you like to find powder stashes at your local resort, go on backcountry missions for the freshest of fresh or heli ski trips to BC, powder skis are what you need to stay afloat. Skis in the powder category are wide and most often have some form of rocker or early rise plus a relatively soft flex. Many powder skis today are versatile enough to handle mixed conditions and harder snow.

Ability Level:Advanced-Expert

Advanced-Expert

Whether you charge the steepest lines, carve with race-like precision, hit the biggest jumps or halfpipes; advanced to expert level skis/snowboards are for the more aggressive rider. You will often find the addition of layers of metal, carbon, bamboo, or other stringers in these. These features work to make a stiffer ski/snowboard with more power and rebound.

Rocker Type:Rocker/Camber

Rocker/Camber

Rocker/Camber skis pair a traditional cambered profile underfoot with an elongated, early rise tip borrowed from fully rockered skis. This profile places the front contact point further back from the tip, while the rear contact point remains close to the tail. The rockered tip allows for better flotation and less edge catch for increased float in deep snow, while the cambered rear stores and transmits energy similarly to a fully cambered ski.

Turning Radius:22m @ 189cm, Long

Long

> 22 m radius is best for powder and big-mountain.

Core/Laminates:Wood

Tail Type:Flat

Flat

This is your traditional tail, designed to have edge contact all the way through the tail, and only designed for skiing forward. This is also preferred for alpine touring, as you can stick the tails of your skis in the snow.

Very big. Very aggressive. So far I have only demoed them, but I liked them enough to buy a pair which just arrived two days ago. From the little bit of time I've had on them, they are my third favorite pair of skis I've ever ridden (after K2 Obsethed and Surface Lab 001). They are definitely not a daily driver, at least if you ski in bounds, but if you want a niche ski for those days that you want to go out and charge hard on the big lines, they're perfect. When I demoed them it was not a powder day so I can't comment on flotation. At low speeds they are very hard to control, especially in bumps. They only start to work at about 40mph. But when you get them going fast, they are amazing. Even on groomers they feel like a race ski. At high speed they hold an edge amazingly well and they're probably the most aggressive skis I've ever ridden. I haven't gotten a chance to ride them on the really steep and gnarly terrain they are designed for, and I have my doubts as to how maneuverable they will be in technical situations (i.e. narrow chutes and tight trees that require quick turns), but I would love to take them on steep spine walls, that is where I expect them to be most at home. They are heavy, but considering the kind of ski they are and the terrain they are designed for, I don't see that as a down side, it just makes them that much more powerful.

As much as I love them, I would not recommend them to anyone who is not a high-expert and a very aggressive skier. They are way too much for most people to handle. If you can handle them, however, I couldn't recommend a better hard charging ski for wide open, steep, big lines. Just know that they're very much a niche ski, not a one ski quiver.
